What is Hilltown Community Health Center?
Hilltown Community Health Center is a community health center first. It has offices in Amherst, Worthington and Huntington, plus a school-based health center. Weight management is one of its services, alongside medical care, oral and dental health, behavioral health, eye care, physical therapy and laboratory work. Its Google listing shows a 3.7 rating from 20 reviews.
Dr. Sheri Cheung, MD, is the physician named for the weight-management program. Dr. Cheung is an American Board of Obesity Medicine Certified Physician, and Dr. Cheung is currently accepting new weight-management and nutrition patients. Joanna Martin (Licensed Dietitian-Nutritionist) and Deanna Nappi (RD) are also listed as providers in the program, but neither is listed as a prescriber.
The program covers nutrition counselling, medical management, and behavior modification, including mindfulness training. Patients have monthly visits with a dietitian-nutritionist and Dr. Cheung.
This listing is for its Worthington office at 58 Old North Rd.
What does it cost?
It does not publish prices, a consultation fee or a monthly program fee. It does not say whether it accepts insurance for this program, whether medication is included, or which medication, if any, it uses for weight loss. In its own words: "HCHC respects all of our patients and no one will be denied services due to inability to pay or for any other reason." It also has a page on insurance, sliding fee scale and good faith estimates, so ask how a sliding fee scale would apply to weight-management visits.
What should you ask before you book?
Ask who writes any prescription and whether that is Dr. Cheung. Ask whether the clinic bills insurance for these visits, and what a visit would cost on the sliding fee scale. Ask which location Dr. Cheung sees weight-management patients at, and whether telehealth is offered. If medication is part of the plan, ask its name, whether it is brand-name or compounded, and whether its cost is included in the visit fee. Ask what follow-up visits and lab work cost, and what the cancellation terms are for the program. Hours vary by department, so call 413-667-3009 to ask about the weight-management schedule and fees before you book.
Who is it a good fit for?
The program focuses on patients with a BMI over 30, or over 27 if the patient has comorbidities. If that describes you, and you want a physician and a dietitian working with you on a monthly schedule, this is worth a call. If you need a clear cash price or a named medication before you commit, ask for those answers first.
